Just find ThreeDubber on these forums and use Slic3r or Cura. Much cheaper than Simplify3d and easier than flashing.

His channel.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_vETX … hbJA0b5u6Q

He shows the strings at different speeds and 40 not many if any and 60 clean.

Might help.
Good Luck

simple easy settings that are often advertised to draw folks in often lack control.

Standard XYZ software does not allow access to such settings.

His only choice to get better control would be to flash to Repetier and use a different host. Or buy Simplify3d and ise the priyer as is. Simplify3d would allow him access to those settings with XYZ firmware.

Everything says to adjust the retraction, but I don't think this is possible with XYZware, is it?  If it's not, I might go ahead and make the jump to repetier earlier than I thought.   I wanted to wait and learn more about 3D printing first before jumping, but if every print is going to have strings then, there's really no reason to not. 

Any other way to deal with strings on xyzware rather than flash and move to a real software?
